What is the filename?

Hi,

See this:

188 Filename too large (Fatal)
A file-name which you have used has more characters than the maximum number allowed by your operating system.

Resolution:
You should recode your program to check the length of the file in error, and rename it with a shorter file-name. You can then run your program again.

Regards,
